Charlton Arms Hotel, Ludlow

A very smart hotel right on the river at the lower end of Ludlow. Several adjoining rooms, most with great views of the river below and the incumbant wildlife. Very friendly and chatty staff and a good selection of 3 local ales. We tried two of them and they were very well kept. We were staying at The Cliffe at Dinham, which was very good, but I think next time we'd stay here.

A good pub, restaurant, guest house situated down a hill, through an archway and next to a river. Inside is a mainly open plan pub and a comfortable place to enjoy a drink. Outside seating at the front and also overlooking the river. 5 handpulls dispensed Wye Valley and Ludlow beers. Friendly and welcoming. I liked it.

A detached riverside hotel, restaurant and pub, with patio area. It is mainly in undressed stone, but has a coach entrance above which is in timber and yellow daub. It also has a nice oriel window, The interior is generally open plan and most is given over to dining, not surprising as it is ran by a restaurateur. There is a small bar area just off to the left on entry, isolated by a hearth feature from further dining tables. It is in coffee and wood, has bench seats and a wood floor, as well as lots of fish jugs! There is no TV and the music was soft and general. The service was friendly and the clientele consisted of a few locals in the bar area and diners everywhere else. Beer; usual taps with Hobson's Bitter, Ludlow Stairway, Gold and Wye Valley Butty Bach. The Gold was fine. A nice visit, just a little to restauranty for my taste.
